This Italian box office hit begins at the end, when a waiter is run off the road by an SUV while biking home on a wintry night. We follow the lives of three inextricably linked families as they tumble toward this ill-fated event, and ultimately discover what happened that night. This stylish murder mystery pieces clues across chapters from the perspectives of three characters at various positions in the social hierarchy: Dino, an anxious social climber trying to save himself from bankruptcy; Celia, the matriarch of a wealthy and unassailable family; and finally Serena, Dino’s teenage daughter caught between their worlds. Set in the wake of the recent financial crisis, “Human Capital” is an engrossing study of family and class, featuring flawless performances and beautiful production design woven together to drive home the film’s ultimate message: that the lives of “little people” are disposable when power is threatened.
